50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Alhambra

“Food drooling good. Just amazing. Service is okay atmosphere is also just okay. For what the restuant is the food is surprisingly good. Easily one of the best resturants I've been to locally. Pointing more expensive than your average food but definitely worth the price. Food quality is amazing and whatever they do in there has to be magic. Absolutely delicious. Banger everytime“

“Great food, everything we tried were very tasty. You order your food from kiosk, and unfortunately no alcohol served, also it’s in the sketchy part of downtown but that makes the parking easier,
since street in front of the restaurant was empty. However, food taste made up for those.“

“We just had dinner here for the first time, and the food was absolutely amazing! We were warmly greeted by Vanessa, who was incredibly kind and welcoming.

We ordered the Branzino and the Chicken Combo Plate, and everything was delicious. We also tried the hummus, strawberry mojito, and baklava—each dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors.

Thank you for the excellent food and outstanding service. Our entire experience was wonderful from start to finish.

May God shower this restaurant with blessings, prosperity, and continued success. We will definitely be back!“

“Food is excellent. Ordered the chicken thigh kabob and they were juicy and perfect amount of seasoning. We dined in and the portions were a lot. Get the grilled tomato! The pink dressing (I think they use beets) was a nice change. It’s not a fancy place, but it’s clean and employees were very polite. Would go back to try other menu items.“

“One of my favorite spots to grab a quick meal. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently good. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and service is always fast. I also love all the sauce options and the healthier menu choices. Portions are generous too—I usually end up with leftovers for later. Definitely a place I keep coming back to!“

“Santee Falafel in DTLA is a must.

We ordered the falafel, chicken, and hummus and everything was incredible. The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the chicken was flavorful and well seasoned, and the hummus was fresh, smooth, and honestly some of the best I’ve had.

You can tell the ingredients are high quality and everything is made with care. Simple food done right.

Highly recommend to anyone coming to downtown LA.“

“Food is delicious great staff“

“Pita nachos are awesome! Many different flavors of Hummus!“

“Great food, decent portions and pricing is very fair for the quality of food. They are a must try if you enjoy fresh prepared, and BBQ style plates you can share from. You'll know once you get there and the aromas from the kitchen hit your nose. The creamy hummus was delicious.“

“Amazing food , great ambiance and friendly staff“

“The overall experience was great. The food was tasty and plentiful. The setting of the room and patio as well as table serving is very pleasant. One negative to note were the drinks: my latte was not satisfying - too small (~12oz.), not enough milk (too much foam for a latte) and per my request for extra steamed milk they offered two Coffeemate creamer pods - all while it set me back $10.40+tax; a 0.5 litter (16.9oz.) bottle of Pellegrino was $4.16+tax.“

“Just good quality food . fresh & tasty“

“They make the most delicious luleh kabob in Glendale. It tastes exactly like the luleh kabob I had in Iran. Very original. Love their rice and fresh baked flat bread. Amazing gem. Friendly staff ads to the charm of this place. Glad I found them.“

“Forget about the rest. Try the best“

“Delicious and amazing service!“

“Ruby Restaurant and Venue was the perfect spot for my wife’s 30th birthday (Armenian/Mexican mix). Arvin helped us from beginning to end and truly went above and beyond. He was super responsive, genuinely cared about our event, and always stayed on top of our itinerary, helping out whenever he could. Plus the food was amazing according to our guests. Huge thank you for all the referrals and support it made everything run so smoothly. We will definitely be booking this venue again. We also booked @Sante_mobilebartender and their setup was beautiful, plus they brought such great energy. Highly recommend they sure know how to hype up the party!“

“The food was great!! and good company.“

“The place is beautiful, ample parking space, staffs are friendly and accomodating and close to FWY 2 and 5“

“Delicious meal. I ORDERED the kafta kabob to go and was amazing....it totally met my expectations. Generous portion, the garlic sauce was so fresh, salad, hummus everything on the dish was so tasty.... great value for your buck. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone searching to eat authentic meditation food. Can't wait to visit their meat market next door.

Thank you so much A+“

“The food here at Tarme is Everything!!! in a nutshell. 😋 Amazing Flavor, Delicious and very Fresh. their portion is also of good size often time it's enough to be shared. This is my Favorite Mediterranean Food Restaurant in Glendale thus far. I am very please with the Food & their Staff. 😍 I score them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Saw this place many times driving by, finally stopped in.

Parking was really tough. Might be because of the Farmers Market across the street and Sunday, but still not easy.

Ordered the Lamb Plate ($26). Good size and actually pretty interesting — lots of sides like flatbread, greens, olives, pickled turnips, etc. Not boring at all. But the lamb itself was only a few small pieces and it was ground. Personally, I’d rather have more actual meat and less variety on the plate.

Also got the rosemary lemonade, but honestly didn’t taste any rosemary at all. Just a regular lemonade, a bit sweet and sour.

You pay upfront after ordering, which felt a bit unusual.

We sat outside on a small patio right by the road. It’s okay, but pretty tight, and there was a lot going on around (some lady was walking between tables) — not the most relaxing setup.

Staff was friendly and service was fast.

No public restroom, so just keep that in mind.

Overall not bad. I was hungry, so everything went down quick, but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to come back.“

“Byblos Mediterranean bakery has the good food , amazing and excellent service, and all the staff at Byblos are very nice, helpful and friendly too. Wishing them all the best And the prefect place to sit and enjoy the meals I rate Byblos Mediterranean baker 5“

“Kabab Way in Glendale is absolutely incredible! Their kababs are packed with flavor and cooked to perfection — truly some of the best I’ve had. The chicken is juicy and delicious, the grilled tomatoes are perfectly charred, and the rice is fluffy and full of aroma. Everything is consistently fresh and tasty. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving authentic and delicious kabab. A must-try!“

“I've been coming to the spot for probably over 10 years and the experience overall has been solid. The owners are always really polite, the food is put together ridiculously fast, and the flavors are pretty familiar and flavorful as you would expect from Mediterranean food. I will say, that perhaps there's a little bit of shrinkflation because most restaurants, the portions just seem a little smaller. I think for this cafe, everything is pretty much the same with high quality hummus, tasty rice, fresh salad, but I think the meat portions are a little smaller than I remember a year ago. Also, this round, my lamb skewers were a bit overcooked and on the dry side. But, perhaps this is just an anomaly for this visit. I'm going to try again probably this month!“

“Great place, delicious food 😋. Worth the drive 👍“

“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“nice place to dine with family, owner is extremely nice and the food is excellent taste and quality highly recommend“

“Mediterranean cravings = officially handled at Wahib’s Mediterranean Express🤌🔥

Hidden inside Blossom Market Hall, this spot is serving up fresh-made Mediterranean comfort food that seriously hits every time. We tried the Chicken Kebob Plate, Gyro Wrap, and garlic fries… and honestly, not a single miss👏

The chicken was juicy, the gyro wrap was PACKED, and those garlic fries disappeared way too fast🧄🍟 Already planning my next visit for their Filet Mignon and housemade grape leaves because yes — they make them fresh in-house daily😮‍💨✨

Perfect SGV food hall stop when you want something flavorful, filling, and fresh💯“

“Super Deli! 100% recomendado 😋“

“Mike was very helpful with the ordering process. I like to stick to plant based items and he immediately let me know they have a lot of vegetarian options. Healthy options too. I like food that is going to satisfy my hunger and the options they have are very filling. There was a mixture of sweet, salty, spicy and savory flavors. Which is what I chose and love. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Highly recommend! Very deliscious dishes; really professional and friendly customer service; well done; thank you and good luck, guys!“
